Introduction to LSAB Appeals
Apply for an appeal with the Licence Suspension Appeal Board (LSAB) to potentially obtain a conditional driver's licence during your suspension period.
Eligibility for Appeal
- Eligibility is based on the specific circumstances and enforcement authority involved in the suspension.
- Each enforcement action (e.g., speeding, DUI, reckless driving) may have distinct appeal criteria.
Requirements for Filing an Appeal
- Complete LSAB application forms (available online or at their office).
- Pay the non-refundable application fee (check LSAB fee schedule).
- Explain why a licence is essential (e.g., work, health, family duties).
- Provide supporting documents (e.g., employment letter, medical notes).
Process After Filing
- The LSAB reviews your application to determine hearing eligibility.
- If approved, you’ll attend a hearing to present your case.
- They consider your offence, driving history, and personal needs.
Possible Outcomes
- Success may result in a conditional licence with restrictions.
- Failure means the original suspension remains in effect.
Important Considerations
This process can be essential if your livelihood or health depends on driving. LSAB can reverse or modify a suspension, depending on the case details and jurisdictional rules. Understanding the appeal process gives drivers a fair chance to challenge suspensions they believe are incorrect or too harsh.
Appeal Board Hearing
If the Registrar of Motor Vehicles (Manitoba Public Insurance) suspends you post-show cause hearing, you can appeal to the Licence Suspension Appeal Board (LSAB). Submit updated documents at least two weeks before your hearing if circumstances like employment or work hours change.

Filing An Appeal
Prepare for HEARING
Approximately 2-3 weeks before your hearing date, you’ll receive a “Notice of Hearing” confirming the date and time.

Manitoba DSR (Driver Safety Rating) Scale
The Manitoba Driver Safety Rating (DSR) scale is a system used by Manitoba Public Insurance to rate drivers based on their driving behavior. It’s designed to reward safe drivers and penalize those who engage in risky or illegal driving practices. Here’s how it generally works:
Points System: The DSR scale ranges from -20 to +15. Drivers accumulate or lose points based on their driving record.
Rewards: Drivers with positive points on the DSR scale may receive discounts on their vehicle insurance premiums.
Penalties: Conversely, drivers with negative points may face higher insurance costs.
Impact of Traffic Violations: Traffic violations, including the use of hand-held devices while driving, can result in points being deducted from a driver’s DSR.
Annual Review: Each year, Manitoba Public Insurance reviews the driving records of all drivers and adjusts their DSR points accordingly.
The purpose of the DSR scale is to incentivize drivers to adhere to traffic laws and safe driving practices, thereby reducing the incidence of accidents and improving road safety overall.
- Consequences of Driving While Suspended:
- Imprisonment: Up to five years.
- Fines: Up to $2,000.
- Licence Prohibition: Non-appealable under the Criminal Code; no option for a conditional licence.
- Lifetime Suspension: Possible under The Highway Traffic Act.
- Additional Costs: Increased driver’s licence premiums upon reinstatement.
